I have a client who allows for a discount on his invoices if they are paid by a specific date. Because there is no way to know if the invoices will be paid by the earlier date, the discount cannot be applied at the time the invoices are created. If the invoices are paid early and the discount taken, I have to edit each invoice and apply the discount and then provide a mandatory reason for the edit upon saving the edited invoice.

That is so inefficient and wastes my time. Would it not be MUCH easier and convenient to apply the discount to an invoice as a part of the Record Payment process?

It is so important to streamline these sorts of processes and make Zoho Books work more efficiently. Any process that can save the user time and frustration is important no matter how many votes it gets, and should be an absolute priorty without this rather tedious and slow moving voting system. The Zoho developers should be studying the best features of competing software and then including those improvements into Zoho Books on a regular basis without the need to be asked.
